Nunu, could you tell us a little more about what you are required to do?

 

[bethzaring]

I would ask the instructor for some more details..

 

[Scotch]

Do you mean commodities as in commodities trading?

Have you tried Googling "food commodities"?

Dont understand

i have been instructed to choose three recipes, starter main and desert - which i have done. the question simply states to discuus the commodities in the each dish, i dont know if i must discuss nutritional value, source or just description of different aspects. i tried to google, didnt really help. i know a bit aobut pc's, and know you can find a forum on pretty much anything, so i though give it a shot. thnx

I assume you mean ingredients when you say commodities. I would include all of what you listed in your discussion of each ingredient. The source of the ingredient, it's main and secondary flavors, primary usages and preferred methods of preparation.

Also include how the ingredients work together in the dishes you have chosen.

i still need more to answer.

Technically, the ingredients might not all be "commodities."

A "commodity" is a thing that's the same no matter who makes it. Like salt or flour.
